Do you refer to the Total word count that shows up when you are building a hub? It used to be in the right-side of the hub when creating a hub or editing it just below the other measuring points that let you know which stage you have achieved or crossed till that moment like images, videos, polls, and tables, etc. I have not gone to the edit mode or created a new hub in the recent period. Is it not visible there now?

Go to the edit version of any of your hubs. In the upper right side you will, or should see a some boxes under "Need some Goals?"

The box on top is a long rectangle with large numbers (word count) on the left and small numbers (image count) on the right.

In the small box under the long top box, either the word count or the image count should show in it depending on where you move your curser.

When you move your curser over the numbers in the first rectangular box on the right, the image numbers will show in the small bottom box. When you move your curser over the larger numbers in the upper rectangular box, the word count should show in the small bottom box.

If you don't have the boxes I describe I don't know what to tell you. They are on all of my hubs. I hope this will help you.

Hi Au fait! Totally agree that this feature is an important one to get back on the new interface. We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope the HP folks are reading this forum. Thanks for chiming in and have a great rest of the weekend!

The word count should show up directly below the Need Some Goals section in the upper left. Are you not seeing it there? You must be using the HubTool on a desktop or laptop computer for it to show up. The mobile version of the HubTool does not include it.

Hi heidithorne! Rest assured that the word count hasn't been removed. The reason you're not seeing it is because the counter doesn't show on a brand new article. It should make its appearance once you've added enough text to the article (you may need to refresh the page to see it).

I did not see the Word Count appear at any point while I was publishing my last 2 hubs (which were 800+ words each) using the new Hub Tool interface. But the count appears now a day after they were published in what appears to be the old Hub Tool Screen. I created those last two hubs in the new hub tool interface which is where the problem occurs.

I'm attaching another screen shot of the Hub Tool for the test article I uploaded to the discussion earlier. Notice how it went back to the old Hub Tool when I went back to edit. Hmm...

I'm guessing you folks are working on the new Hub Tool interface (which is much cleaner looking).

Heidi Thorne, I also witnessed this problem now while creating the new Hub. It was not visible at first.

I also tried to write about this Missing Word Count issue as a topic. Constructed the Title, First Paragraph with one photo capsule and tried to find out that missing count. Then I changed my screen resolution also. But it didn't appear.

But, when I logged again to this draft from my statistics page it showed up just like your above image. So, may be you need to log out and log again for it to show up the word count also. This is what I experienced right now. The word count is 102 words as I constructed only a small paragraph to test it.

E Zhang, It need not be of many words. Mine showed up with only 102 words and one image only. So, only you need to log out and log in or refresh your page whatever it may be. I logged out and logged in through the statistics page.

I also experienced that same situation. I just entered almost 1,300 words in the new hub interface and it still was showing nothing. But then when I saved it as unpublished, and went back in to edit it, the word count showed up. That's a good enough workaround until the new hub interface is in full operation. Thanks for sharing in the conversation and have a great day!

Thanks for joining the conversation, Terrielynn! I'll have to check out that 800 word issue. I did see in some work-in-progress hubs that it was tracking lower counts after saving unpublished and then reopening again to edit. I like the new settings, too! So much cleaner and easy to manage. Have a great day!

I am new here and just joined a few days back. I was wondering if there is a minimum or maximum word count limit on hub pages. I also wanted to know what these â��insert custom characterâ��, superscript and...

On another thread, a Hubber suggested that if HubPages had a minimum word count, it would prevent some spammers.I know that a very low word count can get a Hub flagged as substandard, but perhaps it's set too low at the...

Is it possible to be able to see the word count when previewing the hub unpublished, or another way to do so before publishing. I know that after the results have been gathered, the word count is listed in the stats. It...

I know this has probably been discussed before-just point me in the right direction..other than writing on a word program and copying ot Hubpages is there a way to get a word count on hubs? It would be helpful in the...

What happened to my little blue tip box I have become so attached to? I let me know how many words I had, if an image was not clear enough, and let me know when my hub was presentable and ready to publish.
